Howdy

there.

I

hope

you're

enjoying

this

assembly.

I

put

quite

a

lot

of

effort

into

it,

actually.

This

piece

has

admittedly

plenty

of

influence

from

a

very

old,

somewhat

unknown

song

made

by

Fleshbrain,

called

'Timebandit'.

Unknown,

I

assume,

because

it

was

not

included

among

his

songs

in

the

Mods

Anothology

CD.

His

'Timebandit'

was

one

of

the

truly

creative

classics;

it

is

very

old

however,

born

near

the

very

beginnings

of

the

Amiga

tracker

music

genre,

so

the

sound

and

the

instrumentation

weren't

among

the

best

(the

very

concepts

were

being

built

around

that

time);

however,

the

mockingly

cool

melody

and

well

made,

working

structure

make

it

a

true

delight.

My

regards

to

the

old

master.

Other

influence

that

may

show

in

this

production

are

from

Purple

Motion,

Captain,

and

of

course

the

amazing

Mechanism

Eight

by

the

even

more

amazing

Necros.

:)

Plus,

of

course,

you

may

notice

it

has

a

rhythm

structure

very

similar

to

my

earlier

releases

Rama

Gardens,

Omniphilia

and

Data

Jack.

It's

starting

to

look

like

a

real

series

now,

isn't

it?

Eh.

Either

I'm

still

'refining

the

concept',

or

am

just

plain

out

of

ideas.

Hopefully

someday

I

will

learn

how

to

give

a

song

a

real

STRUCTURE.

During

the

making

of

the

song,

my

friend

came

to

hear

it

and

said

it

sounds

quite

a

bit

like

KMFDM's

new

stuff

-

and

played

me

the

CD.

Bleh.

I

thought

this

kinda

music

was

something

new.

:)

Later

after

that,

another

friend

of

mine

told

me

it

reminds

him

of

Power

Rangers.

Aaaaaarghh!!!

NOOOO!!!

*ahem*

This

is

not

a

'real

song',

as

it

doesn't

consist

of

parts

of

equal

length,

repeated

in

a

correct

sequence,

nor

a

'base

theme'.

Rather,

it

is

a

mere

random

sequence

of

rhythmic

components.

This

has

always

been

my

problem;

I

tend

to

come

up

with

a

shitload

of

loose

ideas,

but

cannot

arrange

them

properly.

Check

out

the

loose

'bonus

part'

for

example.

I

simply

couldn't

fit

it

in!

Necros's

Mechanism

Eight

is,

in

my

opinion,

a

very

fine

example

of

how

much

one

can

build

on

a

working

basic

theme;

the

simple

three-note

main

theme

repeats

through

the

whole

song,

but

the

song

doesn't

suffer

from

this

at

all

-

vice

versa.

There

is

enough

variance

and

the

rhythmically

correct

sequencing

which

keep

the

song

entertaining

all

the

way.

It

is

also

fine

example

of

great

mixing

skills.

Special

divine

inspiration

for

It's
